Senator Rosino Mourns Loss of Gene Rainbolt

OKLAHOMA CITY – Senator Paul Rosino, R-Oklahoma City, today released the following statement following the passing of Gene Rainbolt. 

“I am heartbroken by the loss of Gene Rainbolt,” Sen. Rosino said. “Gene was not just a banker, entrepreneur and philanthropist. He was a visionary who reshaped the state’s banking industry and a transformative force in the state of Oklahoma. He prioritized community, especially small, rural communities and underprivileged families and children. Gene lived by his passion and championed opportunities for those who needed help. The impact he leaves behind is profound including for me personally. When I lost my son Gregory, the Rainbolt family was among the many who were there during one of the most trying times of my life, including making a financial donation to a charity in Gregory’s name. I will never forget the generosity, encouragement and love they showed to me and my family. To my friend David and the entire Rainbolt family, I hope they know my wife Donna and I continue to pray for them during their time of grief. Gene Rainbolt will be remembered as a transformative leader and his legacy of kindness and generosity will endure for generations.”
